“I don’t care what Faith has to say, James.” John’s voice was pitched low as he spoke to his most trusted Chosen follower, as he kept his baby blue eyes trained on Rhi’s unconscious form. “I can handle Rhi myself, she is my responsibility.” John’s voice was almost an octave deeper, possessive undertones in his confession. Rhi then groaned, her body stirring upon hearing her own name. John waved James away with a dismissive flick of his wrist, and he walked over to Rhi, kneeling down, hovering as he straddled her chest. His hand brushed some of her hair that fell from the ponytail out of her face, tracing his fingers along the bandage near her hairline from the blow she received. John had punished that particular member, having told them not to harm Rhi in any way. James had tried to stop them, but it had happened so fast there was nothing he could have done.

Rhi’s eyes moved behind the lids, her face twisting in pain as the throbbing that had been minor before was now searing hot around her temple. She tried to reach up, but found she couldn’t move her arms, and her hazel eyes flew open in panic to meet John’s blue ones. His smile was big, and almost seemed sincere, Rhi was about to scream, but John’s hand clamped over her mouth, muffling the sound.

“Not that anyone could hear you around here that would matter, my dear, but please do not do that.” John pointed out, the smile still in place, as Rhi’s eyes darted around trying to figure out exactly where ‘here’ was. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a knife, using it to cut the bindings on her wrists. Rhi took this freedom to quickly reach up, balling her hand into a fast and punched John hard on his cheek. The blow staggered him, Rhi bucked herself up, he toppled over while cursing loudly, cupping his cheek and glaring at her. Rhi already had her feet free by the time he got to his own feet, and John grabbed her by the elbow and hauled her to her feet. Rhi twisted, almost looking like a feral animal.

“Let me go, you fuckin’ asshole!” Rhi shouted, yanking against his hold, growling at the fact that she couldn’t break free, the rage in her eyes palpable, and an image of her angry Step-Father flashed in her vision, causing her to yank again, wanting to be out of his hard grasp. John pulled her closer, dipping his head down to get close to her face.

“Not until you answer some questions.” John informed her, his voice velvety smooth, and Rhi scoffed.

“Fuck you, I don’t have to answer anything.” She hissed acidly, no fear showing in her eyes as she challenged him. “If either of us do, it’s you.” 

“What do I have to answer, you know all my secrets, deputy.” John kept putting extra emphasis on her title like he was bothered she would come back here in some sort of authoritative role, like somehow her becoming a cop was an affront to him and his purpose. Rhi worked up a mouthful of saliva and spit it into John’s face, causing him to finally release her to wipe it away, his patience obviously wearing thin with the smaller woman. “You bitch.” John barked out, cupping her under her arms and slammed her against the nearest wall, his nostrils flared, his eyes hard as steel, his body weight pinning her in place. Rhi was shocked into silence for several beats, not having foreseen John manhandling her in such a way, just blinking at him, a stirring in her core surprising her just as much. “Don’t you ever spit in my face again!” Rhi’s eyes searched John’s for a moment, before she took a deep calming breath.

“I’m leaving now. Put me down.” She demanded, face expressionless, her feet dangled several inches from the ground.

“I invite you into my home and this is how you react?” Rhi’s face cracked at John's question as she let out a bitter laugh.

“Invite?” She asked on a scoff. “You had me fuckin’ tied up, I was kidnapped to your home.” As her words sank in, John slowly lowered her to the ground, removing his hands and Rhi straightened her shirt in a huff.

“I’m the same person I was two years ago, why can’t you just care for me again?” John asked, as Rhi pushed passed him towards the door she hoped lead from the room and just wasn’t a closet so she wouldn’t look stupid as she tried to storm off.

“The funny thing is,” she said, her hand on the knob, and she turned to face him once more. “If you had just been honest from the start, I would have never stopped.” With the confession in the air, Rhi opened the door and vanished from his sight, leaving John in his own thoughts.

Rhi stomped down the stairs into the living room, her steps halting as she took in the space, she had never been to John’s house before, and now she could understand why. Cult memorabilia was everywhere, Rhi rubbed her forehead in exasperation, feeling like the betrayal she harbors will never die down. How could she have been so blinded by everything? Why hadn’t she found it suspicious that he wouldn’t invite her to his home? Always wanting to meet in secret, the lying was a blaring bullhorn that Rhi had been deafened to. At the very least, she should have thought he was actually married, but that hadn’t even crossed her mind.

While she was standing at the bottom of the stairs, John had emerged from the room, and was watching Rhi as she was now massaging her temples, an almost sad look in his eyes, knowing he was the cause of what was bothering her.

“Why couldn’t you just be honest with me?” Rhi’s voice was almost inaudible, and at first John was unsure if the question was really for him, that is, until she turned on her heel and glared up at him. Her hard stare barely concealed the hurt that was boiling under the surface and John slowly descended the stairs to join her. “Why!” She seethed, not backing down as he stopped right in front of her.

“It’s complicated.” Was all he said, they sat in silence for several ticks of the clock before Rhi scoffed, rolling her eyes, and waving her hand in his face as she turned away from him. John grabbed her wrist and pulled her with only enough force to turn her back to him, and the action caused the same stirring in her as before. “Join us and it will all make sense.”  Rhi’s eyes studied his for a moment, as she tried to make sense of what she was feeling, before she frowned deeply and pulled herself free of his grasp.

“How did Faith know about my family?” She deflected, she couldn’t believe he had asked her to join that cult after everything they’ve put her through since she showed up. Sure, she had arrested his brother, but she was only doing what she was instructed to do, kidnapping people is illegal. “Gushing about the little fucked up girl you’re pretending to care about?” 

John’s expression couldn’t have changed faster if Rhi had actually slapped him. He went from calm to shocked to angry so quickly Rhi may have gotten whiplash from it, and a line appeared between her brows as she pursed her lips tightly at his expression. He was stewing in the fact she would say that he was pretending to care for her. He was trying to save her from the Collapse, why couldn’t she understand that? It was the ultimate show of caring. John brought his hands up to his face, massaging his own temples this time.

“I-” He sighed out in frustration, his cheeks growing more and more red, Rhi tilted her head at him, uncertain if he was going to explode or not. “Can’t believe. You...The Collapse is coming and I-” She had never witnessed John stumbling over his own words before and she took a single step towards him.

“The fuck are you babbling about, John?” Rhi spat out, not harshly, but enough to get him to look at her again.

“How can you think I don’t genuinely care for you?” He finally asked and Rhi placed a hand on her chest in shock, like she couldn’t believe he didn’t understand her own aversion to his little “group”.

“You want me to join a cult. One that, might I add, has been trying to murder me for a week now.” The hand at her chest moved to point in a general direction meant to represent The Project, before pointing at herself again, putting emphasis on her points. “You haven’t even asked if I am ok. And you sent some of your own people to attack me.” She let out a disbelieving breathy laugh, looking up at the ceiling. “But you’re right, it should be really really obvious that you care soooo much.” She dragged the word out in her sarcastic manner, before turning on her heel, and this time John didn’t grab for her, his own anger getting to be too much.

“Yeah, run like you always do when things get hard. Maybe if you’d stop running Deeter would still be here.” Rhi stopped in her tracks, the pain in her chest sharp and hot, the tears blurring her vision at John’s harsh words. The pain was urgent, almost feeling like she was having a heart attack, and maybe she was, if she were to die right here, John would remember those as the last words he said to her.

Rhi closed her eyes tightly, taking a deep breath, swallowing the emotions wanting to break free, before opening her eyes again, still shiny with unshed tears, flinging his front door open, and slamming it hard behind her.

Sharky was riding shotgun in Earl’s SUV with him at the wheel, Hurk Jr sitting in the middle of the backseat, his eyes shifting between the two in the front as their awkward tension was palpable. They were all three out looking for Rhi after Sharky didn’t find her at Joseph’s statue, where she had said she was. Sharky found Earl at the jail and Hurk came riding up not long after explaining that Addie had told him that Rhi was back in town.

Earl’s face was drawn, not happy Rhi had chosen Sharky Boshaw of all people to be her helping hand. After the way Sharky had spoken to her when she was still just a kid, he figured Rhi would have more sense than that. Earl cut his blue eyes quickly at Sharky, before shifting in his seat, the silence stretching.

“Ya should see the way Rhi fights, man, she’s real good.” Sharky said, being very complimentary towards Rhi, and all Earl did in reply is grunt, causing Hurk to clear his throat, feeling bad for Sharky who was trying his best to be polite to the sheriff.

“She took kickboxin’, broba fet. For several years, it was what her therapist had told her to do.” Hurk offered, trying to break the tension. He knew Earl didn’t care much for his cousin, but it seems Sharky was really happy to be helping Rhi out.

“Also, I just gotta say man, I’m so glad I found ya, Rhi was so worried about ya. Lookin’ high and low. Ya must really be proud of her and her finding her way in the world, right? She’s just so cool.” Sharky was almost babbling, and Earl’s frown deepened, feeling Sharky was getting a little too close to Rhi and he’s not sure he approves, and his hands tightened their grip on the wheel. Hurk leaned forward in his seat, draping both his arms on the backs of the front seats.

“Do y’all know how much polar bears weigh? ‘Cause I don’t...they’re real fuckin’ big though...I dunno how they don’t break the ice.” Hurk was trying his hardest to break the tension before some kind of argument started, Earl cast his eyes upwards momentarily, praying for the patience to not just wreck the car, when Sharky grabbed onto his arm, pointing wildly off to the right.

“Look! That’s Rhi runnin’ up the road ahead of us!” He exclaimed, and Earl squinted.

“How can you tell?” He asked, it was the most he had said on this car ride.

“I just can, man, pull over!” Earl quickly pulled over, and Sharky barely let the vehicle come to a stop before he was hopping out of the passenger side, running to catch up to Rhi. Earl watched as Sharky touched Rhi’s shoulder gently, as Rhi placed her hands on her hips, panting heavily, her face cast to the sky. She was crying as she was talking to him, Sharky reached up with his free hand and wiped some of the tears from her face, before she latched onto him, crying into his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly. 

Hurk watched as Earl’s body relaxed from annoyed to almost favorable as they observed how much the two obviously have grown to care for and trust each other.

“He ain’t really all that bad, man.” Hurk stated, clapping Earl on the shoulder, before sliding over to the door, and vacating the SUV as well. “Do my eyes fuckin’ deceive me? Is that Bitty Rhi all grown up?” Hurk shouted, causing Rhi to lift her face from Sharky’s chest, and a large grin spread across her face,

“Hurk?!” Rhi let Sharky go and ran towards Hurk, leaping into his open arms, and he swung her around as if she weighed nothing at all. "Unk?" Rhi's voice caught in her throat as she saw Earl getting out of the driver's side of the SUV. Hurk lowered her to the ground and she sprinted towards her uncle, wrapping her arms around him. "I was so worried about you."

"Hey kid, I'm ok, I was at the jail helping them defend it. Sharky found me and helped get the cult away from us." Rhi pulled back, smiling up at her uncle, before turning her smile back towards Sharky who had walked over to join them, his hand coming to rest on the small of her back almost protectively.

"Way to go Sharkster!" Rhi praised, playfully punching his chest with the back of her hand, her voice still unsteady from crying.

"C'mon, let's get ya back to aunt Addie's and get some food in ya." Sharky suggested, leading her back to the SUV, opening the back door for her to climb in, before jogging to the other side and joining her. Hurk gave Earl a toothy knowing smile before they both made their way back to the vehicle as well.

"Do you really think Sharky is the best fit for you? Helping you, I mean." Earl corrected himself awkwardly as he and Rhi set the table for dinner, and Rhi looked up at him, confused but then she chuckled at him, rolling her eyes.

"Unk...Sharky is a good man. I'm learning that as the days go by. He's helped me a lot." Earl sighed loudly, setting the last plate down as Rhi walked closer to him as she dispensed the forks by each plate, and she quickly glanced at where Sharky and Hurk were sitting on the couch in the living room. She caught Sharky looking at her and he quickly snapped his attention back to the tv and a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Earl caught that look and followed her gaze, another sigh escaping him. Rhi clapped him on the shoulder. "Unk, you're like a dad to me, you know? Betcha can't wait for Sharky to be your son-in-law, huh?" Rhi teased him and Earl's face drained of color slightly, causing Rhi to howl with laughter, the sound causing Sharky to look at her again, having never heard her give a full laugh before. It was one of the most beautiful sounds he thinks he's ever heard.

"I gotta sit down." Earl mumbled, pulling a dining chair out, sitting down hard, and placing his face in one hand as he leaned on his elbow on the table, which caused Rhi to laugh even louder.

“Y’all are havin’ way too much fun in here.” Addie chuckled, before pinching Rhi on her elbow to get her attention, and then she ticked her chin, indicating that she wanted Rhi to follow her outside. Rhi sighed, knowing what Addie probably wanted to talk to her about, but followed her out the door, while flicking the bill of Sharky’s hat when she walked by, he laughed and playfully swatted at her back.

Rhi flopped onto one of the white plastic chairs around the firepit, clasping her hands in her lap, waiting for the questions, or lecture, she was about to receive.

“Kiddo, Sharky told me ya were really upset when they found ya, what’s goin’ on?” Addie asked, sitting down next to Rhi, studying her profile, watching her lip begin to quiver as she remembered what John had said to her.

“I guess...I’m really confused. Like...you remember two years ago when I was all up some guy's ass and was gone a lot?” Addie nodded once Rhi looked at her. “It was John.” Rhi gave Addie a hesitant, sheepish smile at her shocked expression, wringing her hands nervously, looking back to them. “Well-”

“No, wait wait wait, I'm gonna need you to explain more on that. Ya can’t just drop that bomb and walk away.” Addie interrupted Rhi, touching her forearm to get her to look at her again, and Rhi let out a breathy laugh, shrugging a shoulder.

“Not much to explain, it was just a little summer romance I guess. That’s the part where it gets confusing. He never told me he was in the cult, he never even acted like he would be in something like that. He was super charming and funny-”

“Charmin’? Funny? Are ya sure it’s the same John?” Addie teased, having had to deal with the cult way more than Rhi has seen, and Rhi shrugged again, looking out in the distance, frowning. 

“Exactly, like this John is so different, he had me kidnapped, I woke up in his house.” Rhi leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees, hands unclasped and dangling loosely between her legs. “But...even though I feel betrayed...he slammed and pinned me against the wall, and I felt...something. I dunno how to describe it.” 

“Is that what had ya so upset, him handlin’ ya like that?” Rhi scoffed, shaking her head, reaching down and picking up a rock to toss away, not sure if she wanted to utter the harsh words John spoke, but decided Addie wouldn’t tell it to anyone else. She hadn’t even told Sharky what John said, just that he used something against her from her past. He didn’t know what happened to Deeter like Addie does.

“He, uh, he basically said that I always run away when things get hard and that if I didn’t do that Deeter might still be here.” Rhi gnawed on her chapped lips, afraid to look at Addie at first.

“That little mother fucker.” She hissed through clenched teeth. “What on God’s green Earth made him think sayin’ somethin’ like that would be ok?” Rhi shrugged again as Addie rubbed her forearm comfortingly.

“He got really upset after I said he only pretended to care about me before.” Addie tilted her head, taking that into consideration, letting a small smile tug at her lips.

“Ok, don’t take this the wrong way...but do ya think you two may just need to get something out of your system? Like an itch that needs to be scratched?” Addie suggested gently, as to not upset Rhi further, and Rhi responded with an indignant squeak.

“Do you really think I would let him scratch any itch I have after he said something like that about Deeter?” Addie held up a hand in a placating manner.

“Don’t ya usually say somethin’ hurtful back when someone has hurt your feelin’s?” Addie pointed out, and Rhi opened her mouth to retort something, but closed her mouth so quickly her teeth clicked. Addie was right, Rhi has always been that way, saying something hurtful back, petty, wanting someone else to hurt like she was. Had John really only said that to hurt her, not really meaning it? Could she really believe that about him, this new John was so weird; maybe she doesn't know him as well as she thought. The realization made her sigh heavily and rub her face.

“Ok, maybe you’re right...but how can I just waltz back up to him after that?” Addie shrugged.

“With an extra swish in them hips girl.” Rhi gave Addie a warning glare before they both burst into laughter.

Rhi drew in a deep, calming breath as she looked up at the massive house that is the Seed Ranch. She was here in the cover of night by herself, after having sneaked out once she thought everyone was asleep. She looked to her left and right before pulling out a piece of white cloth, like any cartoonish cliche you've seen, as she walked up the remainder of the driveway to the front door.

"There she is! She’s back!" One of the members of The Project shouted who was patrolling the ground and Rhi quickly raised her hands in hope the white cloth showed she was coming in peace.

"I want a parley with John!" Rhi explained, holding her ground, despite the several guns that were currently being trained on her, including a few red dots from distanced snipers. The group all exchanged looks with each other, before one gave a signal to the snipers, while another pulled a handgun, training it on her before motioning with it for her to proceed.

Rhi sighed loudly, flopping down on John's plush leather couch and she scoffed. Of course it's leather, she thought as she ran her hands over the cool supple material, and looked around at all the nice decorations of the living room this time around. She rolled her eyes as the man went to fetch John.

"Just like all those televangelists, huh, John?" She murmured to herself, thinking about how these "heralds" lived just like all those 'we are in this together' Christians. John seemed a little bit more in the lap of luxury than the others but she remembers he used to be a lawyer. That explains a lot.

"Ah, deputy, what a nice surprise." John's soft voice called as he descended the stairs, and Rhi frowned at the mocking way he said 'deputy' turning to follow his movements. "What brings you back? Have more hurtful things you wanna say?" Rhi turned back to face forward, rolling her eyes again, her forearms on her thighs, her hands clasped together. 

“Nothing I said was as hurtful as what you did.” She pointed out, still not looking at him, but she heard him scoff. His baby blue eyes studied her profile as he walked around the couch, wringing her hands together again like she had done while talking with Addie, and he watched them.

"I've seen what you can do with those hands, Deputy." John stated, in an almost flirtatious manner, and she rolled her eyes, even though the last thing her hands had done to him was punch him.

"Rhi, you know my name is Rhi." She corrected him, annoyed by the way he kept saying deputy, standing at her full height and finally looking at him again. "You know you can call me that." Rhi took a calming breath and tried to be as seductive as she could, but heaven knows she didn't know how, as she walked closer to him, his eyes studying her closely as she approached, prepared for another attack, but John made note that her body language was reading as something less aggressive.

She felt she looked idiotic, she was never one for flirting, it just wasn't her style. With the way she was brought up, she had to learn about sex on her own, so she was very, when I want to you'll know kind of person. She gave him a small smile, his eyes still trained on her, as her fingers trailed lightly down his right forearm to his hand, taking it in her own, lifting it so she could get a better look at his tattoos.

John was uncharacteristically rigid, still unsure how to respond to her touching him, after what he had said to her. After seeing the look of betrayal, he finds it odd that she is here, voluntarily touching him so gently, her hazel eyes so curious as she studied his ink.

"You’ve gotten so many new tattoos since the last time I saw you two years ago. Goat?" Rhi asked softly, her other hand coming to trace along the lines of the said animal. "Lust?" She pointed out, her hazel eyes flicking up to meet his blue ones in a brief moment, to find he was studying her as intently as she was him. Maybe Addie was onto something here. Her fingers nimbly moved up to the peacock feather. "Pride." She looked up to him again, he didn't fight her as she moved to his left arm, studying those tattoos, finding the snake wrapped around his wrist. "Envy?" What could he possibly envy of others? She wondered to herself as she absently looked around the vast living room.

Rhi then hesitantly reached out to his chest, tracing her fingers along the crossed out word 'sloth' which she had made note of on his arm as well, however this time John grabbed her wrist, halting her movements, causing her to gasp

"What are your intentions here tonight, Rhi?" John bent at his waist slightly, his face dangerously close to hers, and a small smirk played on her lips.

"We both know there's something between us more than you wanting me to atone and join your little Project." She whispered to him, and she watched as his pupils dilated and his nostrils flared slightly. Addie really knows her shit, Rhi noted, suddenly feeling an ego boost, unsure why, because really it should have repulsed her. He lied to her, betrayed her, tricked her. Sure he's handsome, but he's crazy, she should abort this mission and run for the hills.

John looked over at the Project member who had been watching this entire sordid exchange, he was the one repulsed, this poor follower. The disdain and confusion heavy on his features, John then ticked his chin towards the door.

"Leave us. And don't breathe a word of this." The man's eyes widened, and he took a step forward, obviously about to protest, Rhi couldn't be for sure, but Hurk had told her at dinner about him about to join the cult but the cult had a no fornicating rule, however for some reason she felt the Heralds didn't abide by that teaching. In her life, she's noticed the leaders of anything hardly followed their own rules.

"B-but-"

"LEAVE!" John growled menacingly, causing both Rhi and the man to flinch at the sudden loud noise. The follower looked between John and Rhi once more before quickly fleeing.

As soon as the door closed, John corralled Rhi backwards until her back was against the rough uneven stones of the fireplace. John's hands cupped her face in a frenzy, his lips on hers instantly.

Rhi squealed in surprise at the quick development of this situation, her hands grasping onto his forearms in an attempt to ground her, and soon her eyes closed and she let her lips move with his.

John tasted and smelled much differently than she'd imagined him, the minty scent quickly permeated both her senses of taste and smell. Of course he would wear mint, if the stories of him are true, mint would kill his sense of smell as he tortures innocent people. She's letting a psycho who tortures people to get them to confess sins to him kiss her.

John's hands then moved down to her purple flannel shirt, gripping the fabric, he ripped her shirt open in one quick flick of his wrists, the buttons flying and clattering in different areas of the room, his mouth was still moving frantically against hers, grunts of need escaping him as his hands smoothed over her chest.

Rhi gasped, it had been a while since a man touched her like this, his warm hands cupped her clothed breasts, causing her to arch her back, thrusting her chest to him more.

He growled at the motion, moving his leg in between her own, bending down to suck on her  clothed nipples, showing both plenty of attention, wetting the fabric as he worked her over. Rhi was quickly melting into a mess, gasping for air, before he ripped her bra open, his mouth moving to her neck, sucking at her pulse. Her chest was heaving as his hands moved down to cup her ass, lifting her up and pinning her against the fireplace roughly with his own body. Her legs wrapped around his waist instinctively, as his face buried between her breasts, his mouth sucking the sensitive skin there. He then ran his tongue along the curve, finding her nipple, his mouth enveloping the already pert bundle of nerves, his tongue swirling her nipple before he bit down hard enough to cause her to scream.

"Fuck, asshole, take it easy!" She hissed at him, his hips slammed into hers at her demand, shooting pain went up her spine from the uneven structure she was against.

"I'm the one in charge here." He informed her, and her body shivered at the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. It was a brief pause before her fingers went to his hair and her lips were on his again, he moaned loudly, and she pulled his hair, as she broke the kiss.

"Are you?" She teased, a playful smirk on her face, and that is what ignited his fire, and she saw the shift in his eyes, as he moved back, allowing her feet to hit the floor again, as he began unbuttoning her jeans, she was kicking her shoes off at the same time as she worked on his own clothes. 

His hand gripped her throat once they were both naked, strong enough to get her attention, but all he did was begin kissing her with more ferocity than before, hiking her back up against the fireplace, easily sliding into her because of how wet this exchange had already made her.

"You're such a bitch." He groaned out, before kissing down her jawline, as his hips snapped over and over into her.

"Johnny boy, is this all you've got? This is what I've been waiting for?" Rhi didn't understand why those words left her mouth, why must she push his buttons so much? John pulled out of her quickly, a crazy spark in his baby blue eyes, before he all but flung her onto the couch.

She barely regained her composure before he was on top of her again, slamming into her without any warning, his hand holding her jaw tightly, making her look him in the eyes.

"Is this the only way I'm going to get you to shut up, you bitch?" He asked as he hammered into her hard and fast, but the only noises she could make in response was high pitched moans. 

Rhi's walls fluttered around his cock as he continued to pound into her, his hand still gripping her jaw as he began to give her sloppy yet rough kisses. His thrusts were losing rhythm as he neared his climax.

"You better cum when I tell you to." He commanded in her ear and she nodded as best she could with him holding onto her. "Now, do it now, I wanna feel you cum hard for me." The coil building in her abdomen snapped and she screamed out his name so loudly, her throat began to feel raw. He thrust through her heat a few more times before pulling out and shooting thick ropes strands of cum on her stomach, groaning out her name as well, before he collapsed on top of her.

John's weight was still on Rhi, both of them still panting loudly, she still couldn't believe they had done this on his couch, instead of moving upstairs. Anyone could have walked in and caught them. She rubbed her forehead, still wondering if that was a good idea, even if she had enjoyed herself. John is sexy and she knows it, she loves his hands, how they look and feel, but he is the enemy and really this should have been wrong. Damn Adelaide and her suggestions.

John finally sat up, his sticky mess on both of their abdomens now, at least he had the decency to pull out, as he moved to his kitchen, grabbed a towel and wetting it, coming back into the living room, wiping himself off before tossing the towel to Rhi.

"Gee, thanks." She mumbled, as she wiped herself off as well, sitting up on the couch. Rhi eyes John, he was still naked, his body toned but not overly muscled, now that they were done she felt free to drink him in. That's when her eyes landed on his freshly fucked hair, his dark hair was flipped over one eye. He was normally so put together and neat looking that too see him so disheveled, nearly caused her to get horny once again. Rhi shook her head fervently, clearing it, and she began looking for her clothes, finding her shirt ripped and buttonless, she growled loudly. "I can't go back home with this shirt." She mumbled and John looked at her curiously, as he was dressing himself. Rhi stood, stepping into her panties as she found them, pulling her jeans on, leaving them undone,  as she donned her bra, huffing out a sigh, placing her hands on her hips. "Couldn't you just easily take my clothes off?" She asked on a laugh, shaking her destroyed shirt at him.

"I didn't hear you complaining." Came John's cocky response, causing Rhi to blush heavily as he brushed past her,  motioning for her to follow him upstairs. She fell in line behind him, breathing in his cologne as she did. She couldn't place the scent but damn was it intoxicating. 

In his room, John peered through his walk-in closet, Rhi watching his hands closely, why is she so hung up on his hands, she would never know. 

"What are you doin' there, big guy?" Rhi asked, awkwardly when John finally pulled a shirt off the rack in his closet. He turned to her, holding the shirt out to her by the hanger and she blinked at him, before shaking her head. "I can't wear one of your shirts." She politely declined and his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Why not? We just had sex, what's a shirt?" Her mouth fell open, and her cheeks reddened again.

"Won't people...like, know then?" Rhi asked, and John's baby blue eyes averted her gaze for a few beats before looking at her again.

"So? Is that a problem?" He asked, flippantly, and Rhi looked at him as if he just asked if murder was wrong.

"You're...okay with people knowing we fucked?" John studied her for a few moments before a smirk played on his lips, shifting his weight back a little, pointing his free index finger at her.

“You’re not. You don’t want someone knowing, do you?” Rhi felt her cheeks redden once again, was that true? Was she wanting to hide it from someone? She cast her eyes down at her feet, suddenly finding the floor interesting. “Well, it’s either wear one of mine, or your torn shirt. Either way, you are going to get questioned.” John finished, holding his shirt out again, and Rhi growled, snatching the garment from him, and pulling it from the hanger and donning it. She just prayed that once she returned to Addie’s home, no one was awake to catch her wearing one of John Seed’s shirts.

(ooc) here is the third installment of my story! Same general tags apply, especially canon-game violence and strong language.

chapter 1 chapter 2

~~

Rhi was on an ATV flying down the road putting as much distance as she could between herself and the Holland Valley. She was well aware that if John wants her there, he’s definitely got a way to get her there. Tom was nice enough to tell her the way off Dutch’s island, but said he would rather stay back and make sure Dutch stays covered. Rhi thanked him for his help and made her departure.

Her hazel eyes were now searching the sides of the road for any dangers, animal or otherwise when she spotted another person on their knees in front of a cult member. She pulled out her gun, firing a warning shot before skidding to a stop nearby. Gunshots whizzed by near her head and she cursed as she tumbled off the ATV and she hid behind the tree, taking deep breaths. A warning shot was the wrong method to use, she realized now, it’s becoming glaringly obvious that she is going to have to shoot to kill everytime and that epiphany caused Rhi to sigh heavily. 

Rhi peeked around the trunk in time to see the woman she was trying to save sweep the legs of the cult woman out from under her and she crashed to the ground hard. Rhi took the moment to run over and finish her off with a single shot to her head. Rhi then doubled over, she really hadn’t been prepared for this kind of buffoonery when she transferred here from Billings. She hadn’t even had to use a weapon until she got here.

“I can see you’re working through an existential thing, but could you give me a hand here?” The lady on the ground inquired, rolling onto her side to reveal her hands were bound. Rhi let out a surprised noise, brushing her brown hair from her face.

“Fuck, I am so sorry!” She exclaimed while moving to kneel beside her and deftly untie her wrists, the woman laughed good naturedly.

“It’s ok...it’s an odd situation here.” She conceded while rubbing her wrists and standing up and taking the rifle off of the cult woman. “She ain’t gonna need this anymore.” 

“Odd is an fucking understatment.” Rhi agreed, searching the body for handgun ammo, and cursing when she found none, and the woman laughed again, nodding.

“Oh, if you’re needing any assistance, that Boshaw fellow is close by. When he found out what was going on he started laughing like a crazy man.” Rhi looked up from her knelt place on the ground, hazel eyes wide and her heart rate sped up when she heard Boshaw. As in Sharky Boshaw? Rhi knew she would probably have to face him again eventually, but she was caught off guard that it would be so soon. “Grabbed a propane tank and ran towards the Moonflower Trailer Park...what? You ok? Looks like you just saw a ghost.” The woman asked, and Rhi half nodded, waving her hand dismissively.

“I’m great...just...stunned.” She partially lied, standing to her full height and brushing off her knees, and gave the lady a weary smile. “The trailer park you say. Right up that road there?” Rhi asked, thumbing over her shoulder at the dirt road off to the left, and she nodded affirmation. Rhi groaned inwardly, how would seeing Sharky again after all these years be?

Rhi sighed, as she dismounted her ATV, looking at the trailer park in front of her, placing her hands on her hips. She was not ready to go in here, meeting Sharky again after so many years was sure to be...eventful, to say the least.

After their first and only interaction when she was 16, Sharky actually helped mold her future, not that he knows that. But little rebellious Rhi meeting someone who actually was a badass and witnessed what kind of trouble it gets, made her realize that not all attention is great.

It's when she really started looking up to Earl and the profession he is in, and guided her to be on this side of the law.

Dust came up in little puffs as she walked deeper into the abandoned park, hearing Sharky up on top of one of the trailers, she came to a stop near it, looking him over, her hands still resting on her hips. She chewed on her bottom lip, before making an exasperated noise, looking up at the sky in an aggravated manner and climbing up the nearby ladder.

"Hey, get the fuck outta here, Johnny-law. I know my fuckin’ rights." Is what Sharky greeted Rhi with once she stood to her full height on the trailers roof. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, before stepping towards him, he still sounded the same. Maybe a little more gruffness in his voice from what she guessed was years of smoking.

"Oh, so you know that setting fire to things with a flamethrower is still technically illegal?" Rhi asked, sarcastically, shoving her hands into the back pockets of her jeans, shifting her weight to her right leg, tilting her head back to look at Sharky in the eyes. She was surprised to see that there was no recognition in his blue eyes for her, she was just another cop to him at this point.

She shouldn't be surprised, though, as she didn't have that much of an impact on his life as a whole as he had hers.

"Hey, I come out here and I'm not botherin' nobody." He swept his arm in a gesture over the trailer park grounds, pointing at different speakers set up. "I play some of the best music and just let loose here. In a pants free, consequence free environment." Rhi blinked at the speakers as he spoke, before her eyes travelled back to him and trailed down to see he was definitely still wearing pants and she couldn't help but laugh slightly.

"Uh, Sharky-" He gave her a confused look, and she tilted her head in question and then it dawned on her. He wants to know how she knows his name already. 

"I know, ya wanna know why I'm still wearin' pants. No one knows what the next few minutes hold." He stated, moving over to some pedals he has mounted on the roof. Ok, so maybe he didn't catch that she called him Sharky. "By the way, my name is Charlemagne Victor Boshaw but if you require a little brevity in your day to day life you can just call me-"

"Sharky, I know." Rhi finished for him and this time he gave her a more suspicious look and she folded her arms over her chest. Why does the fact he doesn't remember her nettle her so much?

"How in the fuck do ya know that? Don't think I've ever seen ya around here, little girl." Rhi's nostrils flared slightly at the way he said "little girl" it sounded so much like when they were all in the police station all those years ago. So condescending, almost like he could never take her seriously.

Rhi made a "tch" sound, clucking her tongue, her jaw setting in her rising anger and she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and in a deadpan voice, responded:

"Man, fuck you." And with that, it was as if a light bulb lit up blindingly in a dark room. Sharky's blue eyes widened and his mouth fell slightly agape as she watched it slowly come to him who she was.

"No fuckin' way. Bitty Rhi?" It was Rhi's turn to give him a confused look, only Hurk Jr ever called her that. Does that mean he talked to Sharky about her off and on throughout the years? "Should have fuckin' known, of course you'd become a cop. You've been a snitch from the beginning." Rhi's anger exploded at that accusation, she never got over that he always thought she was spying on him and Hurk that day.

"Silencio fucker. I never ratted on you two that day. I had just rolled into town. Besides, who do you think convinced Earl to let you go?" They were both snarling at each either, but Sharky was the one to back down, his anger reducing to surprise. 

"That was you?" His voice was a lot softer than she had ever heard, and she nodded, her eyes looking away from him and back to him quickly as if to say "uh, yeah". The two stared at each other in silence, sizing each other up, before Sharky finally scoffed and folded his arms over his chest. “Doesn’t change the fact that you’re a cop now.” It was Rhi’s turn to scoff and she turned her face to the sky, shaking her tiny fists in frustration.

“Of fucking course a hillbilly ass like yourself wouldn’t fucking change. Outsiders are the devil.” She ended her sentence mimicking his accent, while simultaneously walking back to the ladder to gingerly climb down, still mouthing. “I was gonna ask if you wanted to help me kick this cults ass, but you know what...nevermind.” She called, walking backwards away from the trailers, throwing her hands up in the air before looking back up to where he had been to point at him. Rhi became surprised when she saw that he was following her down the ladder, and her arm dropped back to her side. “Why are you following me?” Her anger had deflated to confusion.

“I can’t have ya runnin’ around like a crazy woman, Dep. Ya might hurt someone...or yourself.” Sharky teased, and Rhi’s eyes narrowed at him, before her index finger came up to poke him in the chest.

“I’ll have you know I can take care of myself.” She promised and he chuckled, holding up his hands in a defeated manner.

“No doubt, Munchkin, but still you’ll need someone to show ya around.” Sharky pointed out and Rhi considered it. He did have a point, sure she had spent a few summers here, but she hadn’t gone everywhere during that time. Her hazel eyes looked him up and down before she scoffed again, giving him a small but sardonic smirk.

“Fine. But I’m driving, Charlemagne.” She mocked, causing him to grimace as she turned and walked back to where she parked the ATV.

“Hey!” Rhi shouted over her shoulder as she and Sharky were taking a break and stretching, they had saved numerous people along the road, and Rhi needed a breather. Sharky made a noise as he dropped a cigarette butt and snuffed it out with the toe of his shoe. “Hurk Jr around, I haven’t seen him in ages.” Sharky turned to face her, about to answer when he saw the orange glow of the sunset catching Rhi’s face just right as she ran her fingers through her hair trying to brush out tangles, and his mouth fell agape instead.

“Uh…” Was all Sharky managed to get out and Rhi looked over at him, her right eyebrow raised, and then she turned to look behind her to see what had Sharky so enraptured, but there was nothing. She had begun to get nervous, thinking it was a bear, but it was literally just a drop off to the Henbane River below. She shrugged and looked back at him.

“Sharkster...ya alright?” Rhi stepped towards him, snapping her fingers in his face, and it broke the trance and he shook his head to clear it.

“Huh? Yeah, I’m great. Hurk is stayin’ at his dad’s up in the Whitetail Mountains.” He answered, motioning in the direction of the mountains and Rhi gave him a quizzical look before nodding, chewing on the inside of her cheek.

“Right…” She turned to go back to the ATV, but turned back to Sharky after a couple of steps. “You sure you’re ok. You looked weird-” Her words were cut off when he walked into her, she stumbled back but his hand shot, grabbing her elbow to steady her, pulling her against him, and she blushed. “Didn’t realize you were right up my ass, Charlemagne.” She tried to sound teasing, but it came out rather defensively, and she broke free from his hold, taking a few steps back from him, her tone catching him off guard.

"Didn't think ya were gonna turn on me either." His tone however did come out his intended way of just being playful. He wasn't sure how to take Rhi, sometimes she seemed rather friendly, but then it was like she realized she was being open and a wall slammed down behind her eyes, blocking everyone from her innermost thoughts. They had spent nearly a whole day together now, and everytime he thinks they are getting friendly, Rhi pushes him back an arms length away again.

Rhi’s eyes studied him suspiciously, had what he said been a tease or was it being passive aggressive about their past again? Sharky then gave her a soft almost puppy innocent smile and Rhi’s eyes widened, a slight blush tinted her pale cheeks, and her defenses melted away. She wanted to slap herself, because, sure, when she was 16 she had found him attractive enough on their first sighting, but that was the rebellious part of her...right? That part of her that was like ‘oh, Step-Ass would absolutely hate you bringing someone like him home’.

Rhi shook her head slightly to clear it before giving Sharky a smile small in return. “Sorry, I guess I’m embarrassed I nearly fell down…” She lied, laughing nervously, before climbing back onto the quad, and patting the area behind her, and Sharky quickly joined her.

“Hey, Dep, ya know who I’d bet would be happy to see ya?” Sharky asked, leaning down to speak into Rhi’s ear as she sped down the road, and a small shiver ran down her spine as his facial hair tickled her earlobe.

“Who’s that Sharky?” She replied, turning her head towards him slightly to make sure he heard her. She was just hoping her talking while driving this fast didn’t have her eating bugs.

“My auntie.” Of course! Addie! Rhi had missed her so much and hadn’t really visited much two years ago while she had been recovering, she just talked to her on the phone more than anything...having been so preoccupied with John. Feeling her anger rising again, she cleared her throat.

“Abso-fucking-lutely! Let’s go see Addie!”

Slowing to a stop close to the Drubman Marina, Rhi vacated the quad after she was sure Sharky was off, she sighed. Of course the cult was here too, she thought to herself as she ran her fingers through her hair in a very frustrated manner. She was just beginning to walk up the slight incline to gain the higher ground when her radio beeped. She froze, it was nighttime now, so the noise seemed like it resounded loudly. She grabbed it quickly, nearly dropping it in her hurry, she juggled it for a couple of beats before finally getting a good grasp on it.

“Deputy...I hope I didn’t wake you.” John again, and Rhi cursed lowly, rolling her eyes, and giving Sharky a motion of hanging herself and he chuckled.

“Not at all, asshole, Sharky here has been keeping me company.” Rhi knew that would ruffle John’s peacock feathers. “The hell do you want? Y’know, since this is Faith’s region afterall…” Rhi pointed out, smirking to herself, and she heard John scoff bitterly.

“Ah yes, Charlemagne. Not sure he is going to be the best fit for you my dear.” Rhi blinked, confused by that answer and she shot Sharky a quick look, but he seemed to not be paying full attention to the conversation at hand, his face cast upwards looking at the stars.

“Oh? And you are?” She asked, turning her back to Sharky and walking back towards the quad, not wanting him to overhear anymore.

“Do you remember that night before you left for Billings?” Rhi’s jaw muscles bunched and flexed, her free hand clenching into a tight fist. Of course she did.

“The night that it was clear you were hiding something from me but I was too stupid to acknowledge it?” She hissed through her teeth, and John was quiet for a few beats.

“Yes, that night.” John agreed and Rhi stared down at the radio as if she couldn’t believe he just brushed off what she said. 

What she didn’t realize was, on John’s end, he had placed the radio on his forehead. He hated that he had to lie to her back then, it had been at Joseph’s request that John reach out to her, being certain Rhi needed to be brought into their loving family. He had gotten close to her during the handful of months she was there, and before he knew it, Rhi was leaving Hope County altogether.

“We watched the stars that night.” He continued, standing out on one of his balconies, looking up at the stars, he couldn’t help but think about that night. Rhi’s mind flashed back to her and John sitting on the waters edge, as she pointed out the different constellations, John leaned close to her, one arm draped around her shoulders. How could this be the same person, he acted so different back then. She sighed, looking up at the stars too. 

“We did…” Her tone was soft as she remembered it all. “What happened to you…?” It was a bitter question, rhetorical because she was sure he wouldn’t answer such a question, to him, he was probably always the same him. To her, he was two faced.

“You thought I was a perfect fit back then.” His voice was back to being cocky and she growled, she hated that he could switch on a dime like that. “I’m at my home, if you want me to prove how perfect of a fit I am.” The sultry tone of his suggestion caused a hot feeling to run to her core, and Rhi’s face turned blood red at her body’s reaction. Unsure of how to even respond to such a statement, she let out a shaky laugh.

“Oh, John.” Came the weakest comeback she’s ever done in her life, and she knew she had to do better. “I’m not that easy, you’ll have to work for it.” She tried to sound as seductive as she could, not being used to flirting, especially like this, before replacing the radio onto her belt.

“Watch your back then, Deputy.” It was a warning that should have scared her, yet it had sent an inexplicable thrill through her entire body, and she smirked, she was ready for him and whatever he sent her way.

**

A notebook crashed against the door after William left the room, 15 year old Rhi was baring her teeth, something she would never do in front of her Step-Father, even though she desperately wanted to. Yet, after seeing what he could do to Deeter, she chickened out, not that she wanted to admit that out loud. She just let everyone think she was just mousy and quiet. She fell onto her bed and tried to fight back tears, she was so tired of that man telling her she is worthless and will never amount to anything in life.

After a few moments of silence, she heard her bedroom door open slightly, she turned her head quickly, assuming it was going to be William, but instead it was Deeter. He was leaning against her door frame, his lanky arms crossed over his chest and he was giving her his trademark lopsided grin.

“Seems you’ve had a visit from the asshole, huh?” He asked, before pushing himself off the frame and walking over to her bed as she sat up, sitting Indian style and hugging a pillow to her chest, and he flopped down on the bed next to her, propped up on his elbows.

“Unfortunately. How do you deal with him?” Rhi looked over her shoulder at him, and he shrugged, sitting up and bumping her shoulder with his own.

“After 16 years...you just get used to it.” Rhi gave him a pitiful look, here she was feeling sorry for herself, only having to deal with William for a couple of years, and poor Deeter has had to deal with this everyday for 16 years.

“I’m sorry, Deets.” He shrugged again, smiling, taking the pillow from her and playfully hitting her over the head with it before tossing it behind them.

“What’s say we go get some ice cream at the Creamery?” Deeter suggested after they both stopped laughing, and she gave him a confused look.

“We don’t have money though.” Rhi pointed out and Deeter chuckled, pulling out a handful of bills from his front pocket, spreading the bills out and fanning himself with them.

“We do if you steal it from the asshat.” Rhi got a mischievous grin on her face and they both launched off the bed and ran down the stairs and out of the house.

At the ice cream shop, Rhi skipped up to the counter, it was rare for them to get any kind of sweets anymore, so to say was excited wasn’t a strong enough word. The girl behind the counter didn’t look enthused to be at work, popping her gum annoyingly just waiting for the duo to order.

“I think I want four scoops, two chocolate and two peanut butter.” Rhi ordered, pointing at the flavors she wanted through the glass, causing Deeter to laugh loudly.

“You know what, make that two!” There was no way they were going to be able to eat all of that, and really they should have just shared the four scoops, but Deeter had stolen enough cash to pay for that and then some.

“Fuck…” Rhi groaned out, her stomach already beginning to hurt as she looked down at her unfinished frozen dessert that had long begun to melt in the cup. She slumped back against her chair, turning the ice cream into a soupy mush with the plastic spoon. “Yo, I think I’m gonna be sick, Deets.” She admitted, a low belch coming from her, and she quickly covered her mouth, and Deeter laughed at her, scooping up some of his own mush. He wiggled his black eyebrows at her, turning the spoon to face her and Rhi had only enough time to squeak before the cool mess slopped her on the cheek. 

Rhi’s face was shocked, but she quickly fell into fits of laughter, lobbing her own ice cream at Deeter, which caught him on his slender neck. Bombs of ice cream flew back and forth before the girl behind the counter exploded, her shouting caused Rhi and Deeter to stop what they were doing, and with comedic timing, a glob of ice cream fell from Deeter’s hair onto the floor. They both grabbed their things and ran cackling from the store.

*

Rhi’s eyes cracked open slowly, the warmth from having Deeter with her again still radiating within her, until cold reality sunk in and she had to remember where she even was. Sharky’s snoring coming from the cot beside her own grounded her to the moment. She rolled onto her back and looked at the cot next to her to see Sharky sleeping away without a care in the world. Rhi rubbed her eyes before staring at the ceiling as the last few days replayed in her brain.

The Peggies had Addie and Xander locked inside one of the side buildings a few nights before, several of them patrolling the vicinity. Rhi and Sharky had descended on them like a bat out of hell, it was lots of confusion and screaming, gunshots and blood. They had saved several people and even ran off the cult from several hot spots in the Henbane area. So the fact her brain gave her a happy dream to save her for even a few moments from the craziness that has become her life wasn’t surprising to her. 

Rhi touched her cheek and winced, she had gotten punched pretty good by one of the Peggies who had come into the Marina from a boat, the bruise itself was healing, turning that ugly yellow-green color but it was still tender to the touch. He had caught her off guard, but she quickly put him in his place with a roundhouse kick and then snapping his neck.

“You ok, Shorty?” Sharky asked, his voice still husky with sleep and Rhi jumped slightly, she had been so lost in her thoughts, she hadn’t even noticed he had stopped snoring. She cut her eyes over to him as he sat up, groaning slightly, the sheet falling off of his upper body to reveal he was just sleeping in his underwear, which caused Rhi to quickly look back towards the ceiling.

“Yeah, the cheek is just a little tender I guess.” Rhi admitted, with a small shrug of her shoulder, and Sharky stood from the makeshift bed to come stand next to her, bending at his waist to check out the bruising on her face. Rhi felt panic rise in her slightly from the fact that Sharky apparently has no shame and was just letting his dick be that close to her person. Of course, she was still a female and let her eyes wander to check everything out in what she hoped was a discrete look. She took note of several different small burn scars that marred parts of his chest.

“My eyes are up here, Dep.” Sharky quipped playfully and Rhi felt mortified that she had let herself get caught, and she proceeded to cover her face with both her hands while making a groaning noise. “I’m just fuckin’ with ya, ya can look all ya want to.” Rhi peeked at Sharky from behind her fingers, before he straightened and allowed her to sit up in the cot. The side of her hair she slept on was a tangled mess, and she tried brushing her fingers through it, as Sharky walked away, coming back with a cold can of root beer for Rhi.

“Hey thanks. That’s one of my favorite drinks.” She said, smiling as she cracked the top, and he nodded, sitting back on his own cot with, opening his own can of soda.

“I know, I noticed that the last few nights when we was havin’ dinner with aunt Addie.” Sharky confessed, before taking a long drink from the can. Rhi lowered her own and looked over at Sharky in almost a new light, also thankful to see that he had at least slipped his jeans back on. “Dep...who is Deets? I heard ya mumbling that name before I fell asleep last night.” Sharky sounded so innocent when he asked his question, keeping his eyes on his can and Rhi gave a quick, sad smile.

“He is...was my step-brother.” She corrected herself, sitting the can on the box close by the cot, before picking up her most prized possession, Deeter’s lighter, and she hesitantly reached across the space between them so Sharky could see the Zippo. She had it specially made for him, with his favorite band’s logo on the front. “He used this for everything.” She told Sharky as he looked at the Sex Pistols logo, rubbng his thumb over it. Rhi knew he was going to ask what happened, and she just wasn’t ready to tell him, Deeter was still hers, she wasn’t ready to share his story with anyone else. Sharky looked at her, his mouth open, but Addie burst into the small room, saving Rhi just in time.

“Hope y’all are decent!” Addie shouted, laughing, but quickly stopped and frowned when she noticed how serious the room felt, her eye catching the lighter in Sharky’s possession, and she nodded quickly. “Aw, here I was thinkin’ y’all might blow off some steam with each other.” She teased, walking over to the cots, pulling Rhi to her feet, and Sharky returned the lighter to her.

“Addie…” Rhi began, softly, slightly embarrassed that Addie would think she would just jump right into bed with Sharky, shooting him a sheepish look, to find he was chuckling.

“I haven’t put those sweet moves on her yet, auntie.” Sharky pointed out, pulling first his shirt then his hoodie over his head, and Addie snorted.

“What sweet moves is that?” Addie shot back and Rhi just looked between the two, confused how the conversation had been steered to Sharky trying to seduce her.

“Ok...well...I’m gonna get dressed, if you two don’t mind.” Rhi motioned at the fact she was still in some of Addie’s old sleepwear that was really too long for her short stature, and Addie chuckled.

“Ya mean ya aren’t gonna go busting ass in that?” She teased and Rhi blushed heavily, imagining herself running around in this night shirt that hung off one shoulder and she shook her head fervently.

“It’d be a good distraction, Dep.” Sharky joined in and Rhi growled slightly, marching towards them both, shoving them out the door.

“I can’t have you being distracted Charlemagne, I need you to have my back.” She retorted, before shutting the door forcefully, hating the fact that she got embarrassed so easily. She slammed her back against the door, covering her eyes with her hand again. She is usually so in control of her emotions, well, except her anger, and yet since she’s woken up this morning she has been a bumbling mess. Is it because she had such a pleasant dream, getting to see Deeter again, and it’s made her less guarded, or is she actually starting to feel comfortable in Sharky’s presence?

Rhi was asking herself these questions as she got dressed, finally deciding that maybe it was a little bit of both. Sharky had plenty of opportunities to abandon her on their journey here and he never did, so maybe she could trust him. She supposed that she shouldn’t hold something against him that happened so many years ago, considering it seems he has definitely let it go by how he was getting to know her, and trying his best to help her in any way he could. She sighed heavily, tossing her hair up in a messy ponytail and rolling her shoulder, loosening herself up as she walked out of the room.

“Hey, Addie,” Rhi began as she walked around the island, grabbing a banana off the banana hanger she was sure Xander had something to do with. “Have you heard any chatter about where my uncle may be? Dutch told me he was in this region, but didn’t give me much after that.” She explained as she plopped into a chair, peeling and eating the banana. Addie shrugged, appearing pensive for a moment.

“Sorry, honey, I’m afraid I haven’t. ‘Course, I have been watching Xander doin’ yoga this mornin’, so I may have been a little distracted.” Addie confided, leaning closer to Rhi, as if it were a secret, and Rhi tossed her head back in laughter.

“I mean, I suppose I can’t blame ya for that.” She whispered back as they both watched Xander drinking water at the sink, and Sharky made a ‘harrumph’ sound, adjusting his ball cap before folding his arms over his chest, causing Rhi and Addie to look at him, laughing again. “Aw, Sharky, don’t be jealous.” Rhi teased, pushing on his shoulder playfully, and he batted her hand away humorously.

“If I had my guesses,” Sharky finally interjected, once the batting each other's hands was finished. “I’d guess the jail. Although, I don’t really wanna go there.”

“Obviously.” Rhi stated in a deadpan voice, as she continued to tease him, and he shot her a sarcastic look, which caused both her and Addie to laugh. “OK, Sharkster, lead me to the jail then.” Rhi stated, winking at him, and standing to throw away the banana peel. “We’ll be back later I’m sure. I’ve just really gotta find Earl. Make sure he’s ok.” Addie nodded, standing and giving Rhi a big hug.

“You’re like a daughter to me, ya know that right, girl? So be safe.” Rhi felt a pressure in her chest, having not gotten much love from her mother after her father's death all those years ago, she really began to look up to Addie as a mother figure. She had helped Rhi more with growing as a person than Julia ever had.

“I will, I love ya, Addie.” Rhi choked out and Addie rubbed her back, before slightly pushing her towards the door.

“Go save the day, Kiddo. If ya need me and Tulip, don’t be afraid to give me a holler.”

~

“FUCK!” Rhi shouted, kicking the flat tire of the ATV, screaming more obscenities as Sharky just watched her. “That fucking Peggie shot out the tire!” She growled, her tiny frame visibly shaking with rage fueled tremors, and Sharky tentatively placed a hand on her shoulder.

“It’s ok, Dep, we can get it fixed.” He pointed out and Rhi looked at him, feeling some of her anger leaving her body at his voice of reason. Which in and of itself was terrifying that Sharky was being the voice of reason between the two of them, but she finally nodded.

“I know but fuck if this wasn’t bad timing.” She hissed out bitterly, allowing Sharky’s hand to stay rested on her shoulder. “Rhi...you can just call me Rhi. You don’t have to call me Dep all the time. We are friends now after all.” Rhi informed him, patting his hand on her shoulder, before she began walking in the direction they had been driving.

Rhi looked up at the sky, it was already muggy this early in the morning and she sighed loudly, hating feeling overheated, sure she would get burned in the unrelenting sun. Suddenly a field of whiteflowers caught her attention.

“Hey, what are those, they’re really pretty.” Rhi asked, steering off her trajectory to investigate.

“Rhi, don’t go in there!” Sharky yelled, breaking into running to try to intercept her, but he was too late. Rhi walked into the middle of the bliss flowers, and everything began to become distorted, her vision and even her hearing was playing tricks on her. The woman she now knows is Faith appeared before her, giving her a soft smile, and Rhi felt herself falling and could do nothing to stop it.

Rhi opened her eyes to find herself in an open field, it wasn’t where she had gone down, and her brain definitely felt foggy, she looked around, rubbing her eyes trying to clear them, but it did nothing. Finally Faith appeared before her again.

“Faith…?” Rhi asked almost hesitantly as Faith took her hand in both of her own. “What the fuck is going on?”

“I know all about you, Rhi Hale. You are so much like me...your family not loving you…leaving you to die. We will love you here, unconditionally. John will love you here unconditionally. You know you want to be with him...and us. You can be free...and you can be happy. Don’t you want to be happy for once?” The girl before her pulled Rhi along through the field, letting her go long enough to twirl around in the weeds and wildflowers, the animals even looking peaceful in this clouded dream.

“I...don’t know...I’m so...confused.” Rhi touched her head, as it was swimming under the influence of the Bliss, shaking her over and over, trying to make sense of everything.

“Here you do not have to prove your worth like you do with the others. Your worth will be given to you here, because all we want from you is to exist and be happy. The Father will protect us from all harm.” Faith took Rhi’s hand again, and they both took flight, Rhi feeling her stomach fall to her feet, her fear of heights causing her breathing to accelerate as she watched the ground getting farther and farther away until Faith dropped her on Joseph’s statue, on his Bible. She looked at the words, before looking back up to Faith, surprised to see Burke there with her. “Just take the leap of Faith. The path to Eden is clear to those who have faith.” The blonde girl promised flying back away from the statue, and Rhi could swear she could see angel wings on her.

“Burke...you don’t believe this shit, do ya?” Rhi asked the Marshal, as butterflies began to land on him. He turned to look at her, holding his hand out to Rhi, and she pulled back reflexively.

“Walk the path.” He said, turning to the edge of the book, holding his arms out to the sides, letting himself fall forward. Rhi rushed towards him, trying to stop him, but she stopped, looking over the edge at how high up she was, and she crouched, placing her hands on the cool concrete.

“This is just a dream...it’s gotta be. This is too fuckin’ trippy to not be a dream. Which means if I do fall, I’ll be ok. I’m sure this is just stress induced, or heat exhaustion.” Rhi was muttering to herself, squeezing her eyes shut tightly, getting on her knees and crawling closer to the edge until her hand met air, and she opened her eyes again and screamed, falling back onto her butt. “Get it together bitch, you can do this. It’s all just in my head anyway.” Rhi got shakily to her feet, inching towards the edge, looking at Faith one more time, before the blonde girl disappeared into a misty cloud of green. Rhi took in several deep breaths before she walked off the edge of the book, screaming as she watched the ground come closer and she flailed her arms for purchase that she would never find.

~~

Rhi groaned, her head was throbbing slightly, and she felt cool rock beneath her. Her eyes opened slowly, and she rolled over onto her back. She sat up, her eyes scanning the area, there were bodies all around her and she startled, scrambling backwards like a fleeing bug, her chest rising and falling rapidly in her panic, her back being met with the rock face behind her. Once she regained control of herself, she looked up to see she was in fact below Joseph’s giant eyesore of a statue. Had she really fallen, or was it all a dream? How else would she have gotten here otherwise? Rhi and Sharky had been miles away from this spot last she could remember. Then it was like a lightbulb flashed in her mind. Sharky! Where was Sharky?

“Sharky!” She called out on her radio in a desperate attempt to reach him, hoping someone would answer her at the very least, if not him.

“Dep! Where are ya? We been lookin’ everywhere for ya!” Rhi felt relief wash over her, and she stood at her full height, dusting off her backside and easily maneuvering around the bodies and the blood. “It’s like ya just fuckin’ disappeared in those flowers!”

“I’m at the bottom of Joseph's statue.” She informed him, looking at the giant painted starburst cross that was the Project’s logo, for lack of better terms.

“Ok, Shorty, just stay there, I’m comin’ to get ya.” Sharky promised, and Rhi nodded to herself, attaching the radio back to her belt, walking out of the shadows and into the sunlight. Based on it’s position, Rhi guessed it was about one in the afternoon, had she really been out of commission for that many hours? It had only felt like minutes to her.

She leaned against a tall rock, rubbing her temples before digging out her container of water, taking a long drink, and splashing some of it on her face. She was enjoying the feeling so much, she didn’t hear the Peggies sneaking up on her until it was too late.

One grabbed Rhi, pulling her away from the rock, wrapping her arms around Rhi from behind, and in a semi-automatic response, she hopped up slightly, and used the forward momentum to send the woman flying over her and onto the ground flat on her back. It knocked the wind out of her, but it didn’t stop the second cult member from grabbing Rhi and tying her up. Rhi was cursing and wriggling around trying to get herself free, when the Peggie stood over her and smiled, and not in a friendly way.

“John is going to be happy to see you.” With that, the butt of the rifle came down against the side of Rhi’s head and everything went black.

Wip day!

I was tagged by @tomexraider and @fromathelastoveritaserum thank you both so much!!

This is a small little thing I'm working on for Rhi and Sharky, I may have to re do it a little, but I'm keeping the sentiment behind it haha

Rhi stared down at the dancing flames of the campfire she set up, Hurk's and Sharky's voices were background noise to her as she thought about the day she just had. She had nearly lost Earl to the bliss in Faith's bunker. She was panicked, not wanting to lose her last blood family, other than Deeter, Earl was the only person to ever tried to be there for her in her teenage years. She wouldn't have been able to go on if he had been lost.

"Bitty Rhi, you listenin' to me?" Hurk asked, snapping his fingers in front of her face, causing Rhi to jump and look up at him wildly, her hazel eyes wide with surprise. After blinking a few times, she smiled and waved her hand dismissively.

"Yeah, guess I'm just a little tired after everything." She lied, Hurk knew she was lying, but he also knew her well enough that when she's ready to tell him what's on her mind, she will. It was how she had always been in her youth.

"Hey, Dep…" Sharky interjected and Rhi looked over at him where he was standing a few steps behind his cousin, with his hands behind his back, hiding the present he had for her, and she smiled in acknowledgment.

"Yeah, Sharkster?" Rhi watched as Sharky stepped closer to her, seeming a little more anxious than she's ever seen him in the handful of weeks they've been teamed up.

"I know you've been workin' hard to get the Henbane away from those Peggies, so I wanted to give ya somethin' as thanks." Sharky gave her a soft smile before bringing around her gift to reveal it was a guitar. It wasn't new by any means, it was worn from play from whomever the owner was previously, it was lovingly aged. 

Rhi's eyes lit up at the old guitar as she reached out and took it from him. Hurk watched their interaction, seeing how far these two have come. He remembers when Rhi was scared of Sharky back when she was a teenager, and to see them now, how they looked at each other, you'd think they'd had each others backs since the beginning of time.

"I know ya play the cello, but I hope this is...I dunno, close I guess." Sharky stated, folding his arms over his chest nervously as he watched Rhi place the body of the guitar on her knee, she made a chord and strummed. They all cringed out the sour note that floated through the air.

"Needs tuning…" Rhi half chuckled, as she began messing with the tuning pegs, before looking up at Sharky, the orange warmth from the fire lighting up in her eyes. "Thank you Sharky, I love it."

Shorter or taller: Everyone is taller than me I think *laughs* I'm 5'1 on a good day

Intelligence or Attraction: I want someone who I can have fun with? So I guess I'm more of a personality type person...

Hook up or Relationship: *blushes slightly* I'm currently having...two hook ups, so...yeah *laughs*

Family

Do you and your family get along: Me and Whitehorse, definitely! My chosen family of Addie and Hurk Jr, hell yeah!

Would you say you have a messed up life: Hell yeah...I was neglected...my biological father was killed in a robbery gone wrong...my step brother ended up killing our parents and then himself...yeah pretty fucked up in my opinion...

Have you ever ran away from home: I wanted too, but I couldnt leave my step brother Deeter alone with his abusive father. We always had each others backs...I miss him.

Have you ever got kicked out: Yeah, I suppose, but not for misbehaving....just my fucking mother didnt wanna deal with me in the summer, so when I got my license to drive. She started making me visit my uncle in Hope County. I hated it at first, but now I would never have changed it! It's how I met Johanna, Addie, Hurk Jr and eventually Sharky!

Friends

Do you secretly hate one of your friends: *laughs and considers it* Hate is a strong word...I guess I dislike how upbeat Hurk Jr is first thing in the morning. Sorry Hurk...

Do you consider all of your friends good friends: No, only a handful know the deepest things about me...

Who is your best friend: Hmmmm...that's a tough one. It's a tie between Johanna and Addie!

WIP MONDAY *whispers* it's Monday, right?

I was tagged by the ever amazing and lovelies @returnofthepd3 and @dieguzguz thank you both for thinking of me!!

This is another piece of Nodus Tollens between Rhi and Sharky!

"I really don't think you should climb up there, Dep, it's dark and all." Sharky voiced his concerns as Rhi started climbing, testing the stability of the ledge of the small cliffside before them. She rolled her eyes at his words, looking back over her shoulder at him.

"Sharkster, I got this! This is simple shit. You'll see." She assured him, giving him a cocky smile. "I just need to get up there so I can really get a good look. I'll scoot up and back down quickly." Sharky frowned heavily, his eyes looking up to the top, which, granted, wasn't far, but it still made him nervous. Rhi gave him a quick wink before she began to easily make her way up.

A few loose rocks caused her to nearly fall, and Sharky swore he was going to have a heart attack. He kept moving under her, following her movements, so if she did slip, he'd be close enough to catch her. He felt a bead of nervous sweat trickle it's way down from his forehead, his heart hammering wildly in his chest as he watched her every move.

When she finally did reach the top and hauled herself up, he breathed out a quick sigh of relief, removing his ball cap to wipe the sweat from his brow, nearly losing his sunglasses, which he juggled with one hand but eventually caught.

"There's a few of those Peggies slinking about…" Rhi explained, looking through the binoculars and she clucked her tongue in annoyance. "More than a few. Fuck all the way off." She muttered, she was crouched half way behind a small bush, she scooted forward slightly, so she could make sure she has seen every one of them. 

Once satisfied she made notes of the 15 Eden's Gate members, she sighed heavily, backing up, determined to stand once she got behind the bush more. However, the rocks close to the edge gave way under her footing, and she began to tumble. 

She squeaked loudly as she fell off the edge, fully prepared to die. Well, at least break an arm at most, and she closed her eyes, she was going to land on her back. But the impact never came, as she landed into Sharky's arms. He had still been keeping an eye out just in case.

Rhi cracked her eyes open slowly, to find Sharky's face close to hers and she blushed at how handsome he looked in the silvery light of the moon. They both stared at each other for what seemed like eternity, and Sharky's eyes drifted down to her lips, and the urge to kiss her surged through his veins.

1-10 for rhi!!!

Thank you so much for sending this in 😍😘

~~

01. What does your character’s name mean? Did you pick it for the symbolism, or did you just like the way it sounded?

I actually picked her first name because I just like that name and Hale is a play on "hell", I thought of this after Joseph says "and hell followed him" haha

02. What is one of your character’s biggest insecurities? Are they able to hide it easily or can others easily exploit this weakness?

Rhi is angered easily, she feels her emotions are a weakness and, in ways, she's correct, because she makes split decisions without fully thinking them through, whether she's mad, sad, what have you and it gets her into trouble a lot!

03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?

Her eyes, she has always loved the color of her eyes, a light honey-hazel color depending on the lighting.

04. What are their favorite traits about their lover? (one psychological and one physical)

Physical...John's hands, she's obsessed with his hands. And she has a thing about Sharky's neck, don't ask, even she doesn't understand that one 😂😂

Psychological...she loves when they have just as much of a quick tongue as her. She loves to banter, playfully or not 😏

05. Are they sexually confident or more of the shy type?

Rhi doesn't really understand what love actually is, having not really felt a loving hand on her most of her life, so I'm not sure that would qualify as shy or guarded? After her father was killed in a robbery gone wrong, she was basically forgot about by her mother and had to learn to take care of herself.

06. Do they have any hobbies that their lover finds unusual, odd, or otherwise annoying?

John would say blowing up his silos

Sharky would say obsessing over blowing up John's silos

07. Is there a catchphrase or sound that they tend to make a lot (likely without being aware of it)?

She scoffs a lot, but as far as a catchphrase, does "fuck you" count?

08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?

Her biggest flaw is she is constantly looking for attention, especially when she was younger, she didn't care if it was positive or negative, as long as people were finally paying her some attention. Which is why she has made some poor decisions in her love life as an adult.

09. Do they have a favorite season? What about a favorite holiday?

She loves autumn. The crisp air and the colors, warm apple cider (hard or not, she likes it either way) and her favorite holiday is Halloween (I don't think it's technically a holiday? But it's still her favorite haha)

10. Is your character more feminine or masculine?

Or she's definitely more masculine, in the way she dresses and acts, she's a tomboy through and through, she doesn't really know how to act girlie!
